How exactly are we ensuring the accuracy of mail-in ballots?

Asked by crazyguy (3207points) November 13th, 2020

This morning, CNN has a story titled “Post-election audits find no fraud in Arizona” see
https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/12/politics/arizona-audits-no-fraud/index.html

If you dig into what is included in these audits and who does them you find the following priceless statement: “The audits, which counties begin within 24 hours of the polls closing, must include five races, including the presidential race. By regulation, they have to count regular Election Day ballots from at least two precincts or 2% of precincts, whichever is greater. The precincts are selected at random, by drawing.” The audits are performed by “bipartisan audit boards”. Not people independent of the election office.

So back to my question: How do we audit mail-in ballots?
